Anonymous Coward User ID: 78725633 Philippines 04/03/2020 12:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just got furloughed, and I wasn't expecting it. I type medical reports, so I thought if anything, I'd have more work than I could handle. Turns out that's not the case. No end date was provided to me, so I have no clue how long this will last. Quoting: Only Me I'm freaking out. I have no clue what will happen to me long-term. I'll be okay for maybe a month, two at most, and that is just barely scraping with bare necessities. I thought I'd poll you guys and see how you're all faring. Why isn't there an option for increased workload? I'm a digital nomad. I work remotely. Tremendous work increase recently. |

It’s been a crazy stressful couple weeks. People can’t control themselves and are loitering making the job even more difficult. More restrictions coming. Limiting the amount of people coming in. People are getting creative by calling the police and fire marshal due to restrictions. 2 states have required nonessential areas to be closed within stores due to the extreme loitering. 3 major companies are wanting to get ahead of it and make it nation wide vs. waiting for the states to enforce. |

The small portions of the economy that involve food, hygiene products and certain medical supplies are at the top of the economic pyramid in today's Covid-19 world. However, for the latter, since the supply chain has become increasingly dependent on China, when they catch a cold, we end up with pneumonia. |
